Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This is a self-contained study book which aims to lead students through the section-by-section study of the novel "Animal Farm", and place it within its social, historical and cultural context. It draws out key points, themes and characterization, and then looks at the novel as a structured whole through activities. Activities encourage in-depth analysis of the way the narrative works as both an exciting story and a story with a political purpose, building an understanding of Orwell's motives and an awareness of how and why the novel has become regarded as a classic of its kind. The book can be used alone or alongside the "Hodder English 4" course book, and offers comprehensive coverage of National Curriculum requirements for the study of literary texts at Key Stage 4. Activities and stimuli in the text help to generate written coursework for GCSE English.

Recensione

...they are beautifully produced: sturdily made, finely printed and illustrated, with clear, inviting and highly practical layout. There is an editorial team behind them with a track record known to many teachers, inspiring confidence and producing consistency. There is care not just for the integrity of the text being studied, but for the methodology used. Pupils respond to the texts with reading, writing, speaking and listening: the indivisibility of English as a subject is never lost sight of. But what makes the books most rworth having is the understanding of the texts themselves: not only in their historical and social contexts, but also as aesthetic objects obeying laws and structures of their own. I recommend them strongly. (Times Educational Supplement)

The guides are designed to develop skills of analysis and planning and organising written responses, but sugar the pill with refreshingly imaginative, fun activities such as role-play...The text is colourful and eye-catching, with attractive illustrations...The language is straightforward and accessible to students of all abilities.
